Dallas, Salt Lake City, Fargo, Omaha, and NYC! In the next 4 weeks if you’re looking for gluten free info there are lots of options for you!
Yet again we find ourselves with another gluten-free “first” on our hands. Tonight our oldest daughter leaves for a weekend church retreat four hours away. No mom nearby to ask questions to. So now what? Time for mom to get the camp prepared and time for Emma to mature a bit in her gluten-free world.
NFCA appears to have pulled out all the stops to get their gluten-free message across to people in the restaurant industry: It’s time to get on board! But will restaurants bite?
The new year and the new decade are here. With great strides being made for celiac disease in the last 10 years, what do we hope will happen to benefit celiac disease in the next decade? Survey respondents had some great thoughts!
This last decade I think many celiac’s wishes came true, whether we knew we had those wishes or not (HELLO Betty Crocker GF Mixes!). But there are a few things that many people expected would progress in this decade that just simply haven’t. So what didn’t happen, that we thought would? I thought I knew the answer to this…but I was surprised.
From a new gluten-free pizza availability in the Twin Cities, to a college class project that’s making gluten-free news…these and more are some quick news items that I wanted to let you know about… Red’s Savoy Pizza The north metro of the Twin Cities has another option now for gluten-free pizza. Red’s Savoy Pizza in Hugo and Coon Rapids has a 10″ gluten-free option. Both are located conveniently off major roads. So even if you’re not a north metro person and you’re just traveling through, the Hugo location is just off I-35E and the Coon Rapids location is just off Highway 10. Stomach discomfort? Don’t Rule out Celiac Celiac.com recently reported a study that said “…upwards of 4% of people with generalized gastrointestinal complaints show elevated celiac disease antibodies when screened.” The study is published in the September issue of Journal of Gastrointestinal Liver Diseases. Researchers performed celiac blood tests on more than 600 patients who had vague stomach discomfort. Of those, about 4% had celiac disease. Celiac.com summarized the study by saying, “Generalized gastrointestinal complaints are a common indication of atypical celiac disease.

School starts Tuesday. I’m ready, my kids are ready and — so are their teachers. This post explores why our open house (also known as the time when teachers find out about Emma’s celiac disease) had an added twist for our family that I never saw coming.
My daughter’s school doesn’t start classes until the day after Labor Day, but an email I recently received from my daughter’s cafeteria supervisor got me thinking about the other things I need to do to get my daughter’s teachers on the gluten-free bandwagon for the upcoming school year.
It was hard enough raising a gluten-free child at home, but then she went to school! This is the third post in an occasional series where my daughter talks to me about her frustrations and joys as she deals with being a child with celiac disease. From birthday treats to lunches, this part talks about how Emma deals with those moments when she is reminded of her gluten-free status.
